ARS
BOX
A CAVE-like, PC-based VR system that significantly reduces
the time and money required to develop and present immersive
virtual environments.
Innovation
VR system with PDA interface.
Vision
As interactive virtual environments (IVEs) become available
as "commodity hardware," smaller business enterprises
and research facilities will participate in system development.
Ars Electronica Futurelab is currently evaluating different
display variants and enhancement of the FATE software
framework to improve user interaction in IVEs. The goal
of user-interface research for IVEs should be an interface
that can be characterized as ubiquitous, transparent,
collaborative, "intelligent," and networked. These attributes
not only address the known problems related to interfaces
for IVEs, but also open up new ways to interact with IVEs.
Applications (some of which have already been completed)
aim to provide rapid prototyping, design on the fly, advanced
navigation mechanisms for vast IVEs, control of the IVE,
and new interaction possibilities for simulation, CAD
applications, and collaborative virtual environments (CVEs).
